Ali: Re: Clearly they are talking not about
a simple state machines and latched pipelines,
but rather about sort of coupled pipelines where
each of them is running at regular speed, but the
inter-synchronization is done at double clock, or
even higher. It could be similar to the new IBM "interlocked pipelines", or something else like
the frequency of falling domino.

I agree. And I really doubt Willamette's Integer performance with the "3Ghz" integer unit is going to be 3.75x faster at integer performance than a 800Mhz Coppermine (3000 / 800 = 3.75). It may be double that of the 800Mhz Coppermine, functioning much like a highly-optimized 1.5Ghz integer unit. If I'm wrong, then Intel must be years ahead in semiconductor process technology than anyone else.
